cacti

Alright, so the project I'm looking to tackle is that of three small tanks to turn into plant-only terrariums of different kinds. They're all slightly different sizes, but they're all around the 2 gallon mark and all still more or less watertight. I'd quite like to do one of each type to start...

The shade house is full to overflowing… I finally got the time to put together a trade list over the weekend. I am primarily interested in nepenthes; however, I also grow cacti, succulents, bromeliads, and other CPs so please make an offer if you see something that interest you. I would...

Kill list coming soon. Carnivores Drosera: Filiformis 'red' Filiformis 'california sunset' Filiformis 'tracyi' Spatulata - mixed clusters Trinervia Graomogolensis Mixed Capensis. Two are known Giant varieties, two could be Alba, 3-4 unknown Adelae Giant Regia Binata Multifida Extrema...

A friend purchased a Saguaro seed kit from her visit in Arizona. I was sort of skeptical that these were so cheap (I had perhaps 100 seeds). After researching, I found my catch: the growth rate of these guys is quite slow (as most cacti I assume)! Well, they are about 5 months old now and are...

Hey TF members! Have you ever grew something and never growing it again or taking a long break from growing it? Of course, I'll start:) Phalaenopsis Orchids-Yup, that's right those "easy, beginner ones". Tried 5 times with different kinds at different times, they "survived" for a while.... then...

Hey everyone as some of you may know i reside in michigan, but am getting a new assignment in Massachusetts! To start a little bit about me. I was an extensive collector and grower of cacti, rare tropicals, CP's and orchids but sadly my apartment lost power last winter and froze everything to...

So, my local Home Depot went bonkers and ordered a vast selection of cacti and succulent of all sizes for low prices. I took advantage. Picked up some new Kalanchoe I've been searching for as well as a monstrose Cereus Peruvianus and a good little collection of living rocks. Here's some general...

I'm a long-time plant hobbyist, mostly have kept various epiphytic cacti, especially Rhipsalis, but lately I've gotten "into" the primitive plants like Selaginellas and Liverworts and of course, the CP's. My intro to the CP obsession came with me seeing various carnivores occasionally offered...

Well have some pups and divisions I would like to offload. Cp trades are good as is cash ... make an offer. Most of these are plants that will not get terribly large for those of you who are space challenged. Not a medicinal aloe, this one is almost full size. Tends to form small clusters...

I go to the NC State Fair every year to eat tasty but terrible fair food and to see the plant displays. This year was pretty cool, nothing particularly special but I figured I would share it with you guys. A venus flytrap-esque salad grabber! IMG_3425 by mcmcnair The ferns that were on display...

So I am very new to this hobby... I have a few questions... 1) How do I re-pot a Nep? Do I re-pot like a normal plant or do I just fill a pot with some substrate and set it on top? 2) I plan on watering every other day since I live in such a dry climate, but do I leave a saucer underneath the...

I have about 50 cacti and about 100 or so seedlings. This was before they went outside so I took some pics! They are all outside now and I am sure I have more since these photos!

Hello, my name is Chase, I am 17 years old, and I am from Colorado Springs. I just recently got into the CP hobby but have been collecting plants for a couple years now. My main collections are cacti and Tillandsia's. I also have a collection of reptiles and animals of all kinds. As of now, I...

I've got three seed packages to give away from the following plants: D. spatulata, D. capensis (typical - store bought), and a balloon cactus (Parodia magnifica). There are multiple stalks worth of seeds in each package and about 10 flowers worth of Cacti seeds. D. Spatulata seeds: 1. D...

Earlier today, i was immersed in a plant wonderland at the United States National Botanical Gardens!:laaa: orchids, palms, cycads, nepenthes, bromeliads, succulents, cacti, the list goes on and on!!! :-O i went because my mom had heard that they had a new carnivore exhibit, and once she told me...

I have been trying to put together a comprehensive trade list for some time, but keep running out of time. I finally gave up and decided to do it as I can. So the following is the first of what is a hopefully a series of updates over the next week or two. If you see anything that you find...

Not much to look at, but the shelves are starting to fill up for the season. And as you can tell by the empty grow table, I suck at sarrs and cobras. :down: Mostly just some seedlings. But there's a few of the larger rhizomes that may or may not have survived the winter. We'll just have to...

Hey everyone, my name is John, and I'm new around here. I was curious at to if someone with lots of sundews could help me out. I'm interested largely in growing nepenthes and sundews but I wanna start easy, so sundews is where I want to start. The problem is I, being a student who currently is...
